Bringing together a wealth of information from many sources, including much material never before published, this atlas and its companion first volume form a comprehensive reference on Mars exploration. It tells the story of every spacecraft mission to Mars since the dawn of the space age, illustrating each account with a unique combination of maps and annotated photographs. Most of the illustrations were created especially for this atlas. The missions and events are listed in chronological order, providing readers with an easy to follow history of Mars exploration missions. Special attention has been given to describing the selection of landing sites for every Mars mission, flown or planned. Landing site activities such as rover traverses or robotic arm activities at the Phoenix site are thoroughly documented.
